The bpf prog can include the "vmlinux.h" to get the "__attribute__((preserve_access_index))" for free. Take a look at https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221207201648.2990661-2-andrii@xxxxxxxxxx/ which has example on how to check verifier message in test_progs.

Sure, thanks for the hint, will send patch v3 soon.
